Idli is a popular dish of south India made from rice & lentils & serves as a most popular breakfast in south india.Most of the children like it. Todays idli is known as hari idli /green idli /spinach idli /palak idly/ hari bhari idly unlike the traditional white idli. Addition of spinach paste makes this idli healthy & nutritious..
